update from main archive 961215cvs/libc-961216
Mon Dec 16 02:15:42 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
Make sure tzset() sets always tzname[].
* time/tzfile.c: De-ANSI-declfy.
(find_transition): New function. Set tzname according to given time.
(__tzread_file): Use find_transition to set tzname.
(__tzfile_compute): Use find_transition instead of doing the work
self.
* time/tzset.c (tzset): Set tzname[] directly only if !__use_tzfile.
Sun Dec 15 16:52:34 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* login/utmp-file.c (pututline_file): Open file if closed.
Reported by Roma Ekzhanov <ekzhanov@paragraph.com>.
Use fcntl instead of flock.
